Has anyone used this or know of anyone who's used it?

Or any experiences with other Japanese full counter balanced cranks?

For the price id expect it to be pretty special.. any comments appreciated.

I am aware that a 3litre can be built for similar money so lets keep comments on the stroker kits and Jap brand counter balanced cranks!

cheers

Which stroker kit? The Step I, II, III or high-deck? Each handles more and more power, but the price increases accordingly as well.

They are good up to their rated hp limit, but for the step I and II, I believe you can make something capable of holding the same power levels with less outlay. I dont think the extra 200cc's will make a massive difference in turbo response times etc.

err, then why the f**k would you do it?

Oh thats right, I forgot it came with a counterweight steel crankshaft, forged conrods, forged pistons... now where did I put my $12,000 packet of 200cc shake-and-bake...

I said "massive" difference, it would make a difference but people who go "omg I have an extra 200 corn chips, my turbo will now spool 3000rpm earlier" need their head read.

well lets forget about the price for a moment, i want to hear from anyone whos experienced one. Officially (not counting internet purchases direct from Japan) HKS australia has sold only six 2.8L kits in the whole of Australia. Would love to hear from one of these owners!

i got a JUN 2.7L billet crank and its sooo smooth it looks fake honestly. and it weighs exactly the same as the stock crank.

havent built the motor yet, so no info on usage. 11K rpm should be alright though :(

Xspeed in perth has a 2.8L hks stroker gtr

thanks champions! that is a gorgeous looking crank! Im just about to source a 2.8 for myself, but running GT2530's. Where are you located Gav? would be great to see your GTRS results and especially how the motor feels at those high revs.

i dont have a 2.8 crank,just the standard one.

from what i can see the main advantage of a "full counter crank" whether it be forged or billet is you get rid of most of the nasty rb26 destroying harmonics.

so that oil pump can take the extra rpm and not explode.

even beter is if they come with a nice big damper(ati superdamper etc)

the extra 200cc is a nice trade off.

Gav is from perth too but travels 99% of the time from what ive seen :lol:

good to see three of the counterweight crank rb26s are from Perth :angry:

and the JUN crank is rated upto 13K rpm but ive been told to goto 11k to be safe :D

yer i think the main thing with 2.7-2.8 litre RB27-8 is that they really can handle huge rpm 11500-13000 which means even more crazy head work then the motor its self which is why most people are using 3l kits for daily driven cars.

i think japan would get the rb30 blocks if they were soo crash hot and brilliant, but obviously they know they aint very good at high power and thats the reason they have these $20k kits instead which are built for the power from scratch, not from a vl 6 banger family hack engine, which is along way from a rb26 in any stretch of the imagination as being a performance built engine.

compare apples with apples ;)

The Rb26 was built as a high performance motor to start with, so saying rb30's are like a family hack engine, could be the same for rb25's or rb20's.

Im not into the theory of it all, but dont most engine builders strive for what they call a "square" motor? Which the rb30 is ideal..ie 86x86

I think Japan would use them, but like Duncan said they dont have them lying around for $100 a pop....

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
